I know I shouldn't be but I can't help getting excited about the friesian filly I'm going to view tomorrow :) Hope she is as sweet as she is made out to be! Wish me luck!

Oh if i did like her I would get her vetted ...
However she is in perth an hour and a bit away from me so how would I go about doing this since I don't know any vets in the area etc?
 
Oooh, good luck!

You could ask your vet for recommendations... althernatively take your vet with you? I did when I got mine vetted (about 1hr 45 away), obviously had to pay travel time, but wasn't that much extra, although did take him for lunch on the way back! He's friend of mine though and I keep my horse on his wife's livery yard as well as exercise his horses so...
 
Assuming it is Perth, Scotland and not the other! - there are a couple of really good equine practices around (I'm in Dundee) but if you have a good relationship with your own vet I would probably still use them, you will be charged for travel but I would feel better personally doing this than using someone you don't know.

Hoping all goes well, let us know either way..
 
Thanks for the replies!
My vets are very expensive just to travel half an hour to my current yard never mind an hour and a half to perth so it wouldn't be worth while as I don't particularly like them - in process of finding new practice to use!
roo2012 - it is Perth Scotland, could you reccomend any nearby practices?
 
Good luck with your viewing! Friesians are really such a wonderful breed to own. They really are such nice natured, people loving animals so i expect she is as sweet as she has been made out to be :)
 
Thankyou for the links roo2012 :)
bexwarren24 - I'm worried as I have been told this by many people and she has been described to follow you about, love being groomed etc ... I suspect I may fall in love around 9am tomorrow :\ Lol!
 
Thank you Lippyx :)
Don't worry the camera is already charging! Think I may creep her owner out; will no doubt take more pictures in my visit than he has taken since she was born! Lol.
 
She will be one on the 25th of June - so just a baby :)
My main aim is to have a youngster I can build up a trusting reationship with, something unspoilt I can teach myself and that can teach me.
In the future she would be used as an all round riding horse - I'm not the comepteing type so unless she showed a real talent for something that wouldn't be a main aim of mine. If there was suitable classes, I would perhaps take her to a few local shows as a youngster to get her out and about incase I want to do more with her in the future.
